Ok, i did some looking, and the scan you provided for the Peterson card was not the actual card you sent. The card in the picture has a better auto, and MUCH better centering. Here are the two pictures:

The Picture YOU provided

The ACTUAL card

The card you sent has about an 8 auto, where the card you pictured had a 10. From what I could tell, based on the bottom left corner of the scan you provided, the card should have had 45/55 centering at worst. The card you sent has ridiculous centering on both edges, so the print is actually up and to the right about 60/40.

I think you owe me an explanation, plus some of my cards back at least.

This is completely insane that Booth thinks a bait and switch is no big deal.

The scan was RIDICULOUSLY different than the actual card and I am asking 25 dollars for the misrepresentation.

I have been monitoring these cards since they came out, and here is what I have determined. Because this set is often miscut, a centered card makes a lot of difference. From what you can see above, the centering is completely different on the actual card. I put that misrepresentation at 5 dollars sell value.

As for the auto, it is the most important part of this card. The sell value drops exponentially as the auto becomes worse. The card he sent is one of the worst Petersons I have ever seen from this set. The auto is faded and not bold, and the auto expands outside of the signing area considerably. It is supposed to be bold and compact like above, and instead it is everywhere. Peterson's auto varies quite a bit, and that is why the compact and bold ones are worth more money. He represented a compact and bold auto, he sent a faded and everywhere auto. That misrepresentation is valued at a conservative 20 dollars sell value.

The Mauer included in this transaction sells for 25 dollars, and I want it back or I want the 25 paypal. Its pretty simple.
